MMG--Hear ribbon technology in your home

We'll tell you right up front---you might get "hooked".
The MMG is the marketing equivalent of those tasty little morsels handed out in high-end grocery stores.

Most consumers do their research on the internet.
That's probably how you found us.
Or from one of our thousands of happy customers.
The MMG, 60-day, money-back guarantee "appetizer" concept has proven more successful than any other marketing idea.
Only a very small percentage of customers return their MMG models because they didn't like them.
And most eventually move up to our better models. So, warning is fair, you might get "hooked".

The floor-standing MMG at $599 has introduced thousands of audiophiles to the unique sound of ribbon speakers since 1995.
Later, when customers want to add home theater, the MMG C (center) and the MMG W (on-wall) are the speakers of choice at $295 and $325 pair, respectively.

This is not one of those phony review sites.
Opinions will vary, but they are free and uncensored.

Introducing the Super MMG---the improved "appetizer"

Perhaps you live in St. Louis or Memphis or Kansis City or Las Vegas. Millions of customers live too far from a Magnepan dealers.
We have talked to you.
You plan to spend more than $600 for a pair of speakers, but you don't want to drive hundreds of miles to hear our 1.7s---despite the fact that in January, 2011
The Absolute Sound magazine said "Not just The Absolute Sound's Affordable Loudspeaker of the Year, the 1.7 is the affordable loudspeaker of the decade".
If that describes your situation, the Super MMG might be a temptation you can't resist.

No, the Super MMG is not an MMG with a Bass Panel.
It is more than just better bass.
The basic MMG has been "hot-rodded" for better sound.
The Super MMG essentially adds the Bass Panel and converts the system into a 3-way speaker---giving better bass, midrange and highs.
No, it is not the sonic equal of the 1.7, but for $1199, the Super MMG is a great bargain that is easily mail-ordered.

The Bass Panel is analogous to going from a 12-inch to a 15-inch woofer. But, don't think of it as a subwoofer.
Yes, it provides deeper bass in a larger room than a MMG because the total bass radiating area gets a better "bite" on the air.
It is a similar principle as the MMG bass section---just more of it.

We introduced the Super MMG as the 2013 Newport show to invite direct A-B comparisons with mega-buck box speakers down the hall.

Robert Harley, editor of The Absolute Sound magazine said--

"The two most memorable rooms at the Newport show fell at opposite ends
of the price/complexity spectrum. The first was the debut of the Magnepan MMG Super,
a $1199 three-piece system of two quasi-ribbon panels and a
planar-magnetic bass module. To give you an idea of how this new Maggie
sounded, a guy in his twenties who had heard the demo with me asked me
in the hallway afterward what I thought of this system in relation to a
similarly priced box speaker he was considering. I told him that it was
possible to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a cone-based speaker
and not approach the transparency and midrange resolution of the $1199
MMG Super." Robert Harley, theabsolutesound.com

As Dick Olsher of Stereophile magazine asserts,
The impossible problem for a conventional speaker, then, is this: how to convince you it's a grand piano when the instrument's full acoustic power is being squeezed through an 8" woofer.
When I close my eyes and try to conjure up an image size, a planar speaker reproduces piano, double-bass, cello and human voice with much more spatial conviction than is possible with a conventional dynamic speaker.
It's true--a planar makes a recorded piano sound more like a real piano.

Magnepan is the most successful manufacturer of full-range dipole loudspeakers in the world.
Over 200,000 of these speakers have been purchased by audiophiles ...
audiophiles such as those taking part in the last speaker survey conducted by Stereophile magazine which revealed more of their readers owned Magneplanars than any other brand,
and 99% were satisfied with their purchase.

Available in natural or black solid oak trim with off-white, grey or black fabric.
